Lemoyne Star Medallion Doll Quilt Top

Today I finished the top, but it took a little longer than I thought. I was really scrounging for border fabric, and had to piece the pieces to get the length I needed. I’m in love with the weird gold border fabric, though, and wanted to use it even though I only had one Album pattern block to work with. Because there are tons of seams in this quilt and I plan to hand quilt it, the seam allowances are only 1/8″. Even though I changed the pattern a little, I think it still resembles the original doll quilt, and I’m happy with the result.

The top is both machine and hand pieced (no paper piecing), using antique fabric from my collection. It measures 17″ x 17″, and the Lemoyne stars are 3″.

This is the original quilt I copied from the book, Small Endearments, by Sandi Fox. It is approximately 23″ square.

Okay I LOVE this project! I think it is one of my favorites of your work. The gold chain border is exquisite, thank you for saving it! It is wonderful, just wonderful Martha! A real treat for the eyes. You go girl! Hugs, Mickie

Hi Martha! I found your web page from Lori at Humble Quilts blog. I was totally amazed by your quilts she pictured on her blog. I thought the above quilt was absolutely beautiful and then I read that it is 17″ in size! I am beyond words for that. So glad I found your web page!!
